Abstract: Foster care, as alternative form of child care is very developed in Scandinavian countries. Scandinavian countries have specified procedures of services in their social system. As well, they provide a great spectator of additional services to foster parents and to housed children. Theirs additional services are mostly based on providing support. Housed children have many opportunities and receive support from their foster parents. Foster parents often entirely replace the role of children biological parents. Significant role in foster care have institutions, specially schools who are working on greater integration of housed children in unfamiliar environment. However, as every system, Scandinavian system has some disadvantages. There is significant difference between kinship and non-kinship foster care where kinship foster care is better in quality of care and children are more satisfied living in kinship foster care rather than non-kinship.
